Technics Turntables...really???

This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever read. The top-tier Technics tables are world-class and are equivalent to or better than belt drive or any other table. I have a SP-10R, and I use the accurate-to-0.01 RPM pitch control every day when I transfer old 78s that were recorded anywhere from 70 to 90 RPM. You can't do that with other tables. If I need the table to spin at 38.38 RPM when I'm making a half-speed transfer, no other table offers the same level of speed stability, not even the six-figure ones owned by audiophile multimillionares. You couldn't pay me to own another table.

  I love the speed stability of my 1200

Any VPI with an SDS or Sota with its speed servo system can do that. Easy-peasy.

I'm with the OP. I never got the attraction.
